    "A Certain Magical Index III"
[01:30] ---
    "#03 The Document of C"
[01:33] ---
    Well, well, is something the matter?
[01:37] ---
    Please, amuse me some more.
[01:49] ---
    Precedence.
[01:51] ---
    Spear motion lower; air higher!
[02:00] ---
    Crap!
[02:08] ---
    I'm alive?
[02:12] ---
    But how?
[02:14] ---
    Was that attack different
    from the one before?
[02:17] ---
    Flour?
[02:19] ---
    You mean, that weapon
    signifies the flesh of God?
[02:23] ---
    Oh? Even an easterner like you can tell that?
[02:27] ---
    By any common reckoning,
[02:28] ---
    there is no way a mere mortal man
    could kill the Son of God.
[02:32] ---
    However, the Son of God had
    no other choice but to be killed,
[02:37] ---
    in order to take the original sin
    of mankind upon Him.
[02:40] ---
    To that end, there was an alteration
    performed to the order of precedence
[02:44] ---
    between a traveler and the Son of God.
[02:46] ---
    Yes, this very esoteric procedure,
[02:49] ---
    which was employed to allow
    the Son of God to fulfill mythology,
[02:52] ---
    is my technique--
[02:54] ---
    the Light's Execution.
[02:57] ---
    So that's it.
[02:59] ---
    A spear that was made of flour
    took precedence over the outer wall,
[03:02] ---
    which is why it had such destructive force.
[03:05] ---
    And it was because the air
    had precedence over the spear
[03:07] ---
    that Itsuwa's attack was stopped.
    Is this the power of the Right Seat of God?
[03:15] ---
    All strengths and weaknesses become
    irrelevant in the face of that technique.
[03:23] ---
    Oh, is something the matter?
[03:25] ---
    Either defeat me or run away,
    but please do something.
[03:30] ---
    I will give you ten seconds. Use that time
    to come up with your plan of attack.
[03:37] ---
    That is, assuming one exists!
[03:41] ---
    In ten seconds,
[03:42] ---
    I can come up with three plans.
[03:45] ---
    Precedence. Magic lower; skin higher.
[03:51] ---
    Tsuchimikado!
[03:53] ---
    Sorry to keep you, Kami.
[03:56] ---
    I hope you're not going to tell me
    that that was your breakout strategy.
[04:00] ---
    Unfortunately for you,
    I just backed you into a corner.
[04:04] ---
    This next one will spell checkmate.
[04:08] ---
    Do you really think you can
    fight me with that toy?
[04:11] ---
    Precedence.
[04:12] ---
    Bullets lower; skin higher.
[04:19] ---
    Heh, like I said, "checkmate."
[04:36] ---
    Tch, I didn't need this.
[04:39] ---
    I see, so that's how it's
    going to be, Aleister.
[04:42] ---
    There's just a regular spellcaster using
    the Document of C in the Papal Palace.
[04:48] ---
    It would be somewhat bothersome
    to have them come under attack
[04:51] ---
    by a large-scale military force.
    Ha-ha, you leave me little other choice.
[04:56] ---
    Hold it!
[04:59] ---
    Are you all right?!
[05:01] ---
    Kami, we're going to the Papal Palace, too.
[05:04] ---
    Those powered suits are made
    in Academy City, right?
[05:08] ---
    I thought they weren't going to make a move.
[05:11] ---
    Right now, going after Terra comes first.
[05:15] ---
    At this point, the Right Seat of God
    will begin waging all-out war.
[05:20] ---
    It's now or never if we're going
    to thwart the Document of C--
[05:24] ---
    Don't they care who they target?
[05:26] ---
    Kami, you go on ahead. I'm going
    to stop these Academy City idiots.
[05:31] ---
    Tsuchimikado...
[05:32] ---
    It's not as though they're entrenched enemies;
    I'll find some room to negotiate.
[05:38] ---
    Now, get going!
[05:39] ---
    Damn it!
[05:50] ---
    It looks like they're
    knocking out the rioters
[05:52] ---
    and removing them
    from town in those balloons.
[05:56] ---
    Tsuchimikado wouldn't
    pull something like this.
[05:59] ---
    Are we just supposed to accept this
    underhanded way of doing things?!
[06:15] ---
    It doesn't look like there's anyone here.
[06:18] ---
    I have to wonder, where did
    those powered suits come from?
[06:22] ---
    What the hell is Academy City planning to do?
[06:31] ---
    Misaka? Is this a good time?
[06:33] ---
    Wh-What's the idea?!
    You haven't even sent me a single text,
[06:36] ---
    --and now you're calling me out of the blue--
    --Can you watch the news?
[06:39] ---
    Either on TV or on the net.
[06:41] ---
    I need you to see if anything's
    happening in a city called Avignon.
[06:45] ---
    Huh?
[06:47] ---
    They're showing nothing but news
    bulletins on every TV channel.
[06:49] ---
    This city of Avignon
    is all they're talking about.
[06:52] ---
    "Military force enters Avignon, France,
    suppresses demonstrators"
[06:53] ---
    Some religious group or other has
    built a weapon of special destruction
[06:56] ---
    in violation of international law,
[06:58] ---
    and Academy City is helping to
    carry out a mopping-up operation.
[07:03] ---
    Wait, where are you right now?
[07:06] ---
    Huh? Oh, uh... What?
[07:09] ---
    Hey, are you listening to me?
[07:12] ---
    --Tell me, where are you? Hello?
    --The sound--it's gone now?
[07:16] ---
    --Hey!
    --Itsuwa, is this--?
[07:30] ---
    This is a fine mess.
[07:31] ---
    While trying to control
    the violent disturbance,
[07:34] ---
    you create an even larger
    disturbance and get caught up in it.
[07:39] ---
    Is this how serious Academy
    City is about this?
[07:43] ---
    That's the Document of C!
[07:46] ---
    The ordinary spellcaster who was
    enacting the spell was targeted, you see,
[07:51] ---
    so I came and recovered it first.
[07:54] ---
    I cannot perform mere mortal spells,
[07:58] ---
    so cutting things short here
    would be the wise course of action.
[08:02] ---
    You think I'm going to sit by
    and let you walk away?
[08:04] ---
    What can I say? As far as I'm concerned,
[08:07] ---
    I find such a development more
    enjoyable and would love it!
[08:32] ---
    All right, you blockheads,
    you can at least act as shields...
[08:36] ---
    ...and make yourselves useful!
[08:41] ---
    That's as infernal a side effect as ever.
[08:44] ---
    All right, wake up, you sons of bitches!
[08:47] ---
    Smash everything and laugh it up!
[08:57] ---
    I surrender. Do whatever
    it is you're gonna do with me.
[09:01] ---
    That is,
[09:02] ---
    if you're capable.
[09:10] ---
    Wondering how I did that?
[09:12] ---
    Those HsPS-15s have the new
    stand-alone auxiliary drive units equipped.
[09:19] ---
    But those are prototypes
    that are still full of bugs.
[09:23] ---
    When you hammer them with
    contradictory conditional input,
[09:27] ---
    their autonomous program freezes.
[09:30] ---
    Moreover, the onboard databank
    functions are also overdeveloped.
[09:35] ---
    As a result, they're only too eager
    to transmit those bugs, as well.
[09:39] ---
    Now, I've stopped you in
    your tracks, but now...
[09:45] ---
    Those are Academy City-built
    supersonic stealth bombers, HsB-02s.
[09:52] ---
    What are you thinking, Aleister?
[09:55] ---
    It will take more than that
    to eliminate the Document of C...
[10:00] ---
    He still has a trick up his sleeve?!
[10:03] ---
    Operation A objective accomplished.
    Proceeding with B.
[10:07] ---
    Get your parachute ready.
[10:10] ---
    No need.
[10:12] ---
    Tch, now they're opening fire
    on the outside, too.
[10:23] ---
    Commencing Operation B.
[10:37] ---
    Heh, with a mere three
    kilograms of iron sand,
[10:41] ---
    you could carve up the Eurasian
    continent with these Earth Blades.
[10:45] ---
    You've cooked up quite a neat little item.
[10:48] ---
    Operational area sequestration confirmed.
[10:50] ---
    Switching to aerial bombardment
    of the entire quarantined area.
[10:53] ---
    Change that.
[10:54] ---
    Huh?
[10:54] ---
    The target is the Papal Palace, right?
    Concentrate your attack there first.
[11:00] ---
    B-But...
[11:01] ---
    Change it!
[11:03] ---
    When people use the word "evil,"
    it has different varieties and degrees.
[11:08] ---
    A world-class villain doesn't go
    after the lives of respectable people.
[11:13] ---
    You have no intention of handing
    over the Document of C nicely, right?
[11:16] ---
    Precedence. The air lower; flour higher!
[11:26] ---
    Precedence. The blade lower;
[11:29] ---
    skin higher!
[11:37] ---
    Precedence.
[11:39] ---
    Flesh lower; flour higher!
[11:43] ---
    Is that all you have? It looks like
    I have a leg up on you, literally.
[11:48] ---
    Even so, you've finally exposed yourself.
[11:52] ---
    There was definitely something
    unnatural about your actions just now.
[11:56] ---
    You don't say. However, you won't
    have any time to make use of it!
[12:05] ---
    Precedence. Ceiling lower; flour higher.
[12:18] ---
    Itsuwa!
[12:21] ---
    Well, I suppose that's to be expected.
[12:24] ---
    Why, you...!
[12:25] ---
    Imagine Breaker...
    I was expecting something more,
[12:29] ---
    but I never counted on it
    being this rough-hewn.
[12:33] ---
    If you had recovered its true capability,
[12:35] ---
    you could have at least
    defended that sorceress.
[12:39] ---
    Its true capability?
[12:41] ---
    Oh, you mean you don't know?
[12:43] ---
    But that couldn't be true.
    By all rights... Hmm?
[12:48] ---
    You haven't, by any chance, forgotten
    things you ought to know, have you?
[12:51] ---
    Why, you!
[12:52] ---
    You mean I'm right?!
    What, have you been hiding it?
[12:58] ---
    But for what reason? It might be
    interesting to look into the cause
[13:01] ---
    "Mikoto Misaka"
[13:02] ---
    for why you have lost your memory.
[13:06] ---
    Damn it...
[13:08] ---
    For her sake,
[13:10] ---
    I've made it this far,
    determined not to tell anyone!
[13:14] ---
    It doesn't really matter.
    After all, you're going to die here.
[13:18] ---
    Don't let him get to you. Precedence--
[13:21] ---
    If I can figure out his power's weakness...
[13:24] ---
    Oh, you aren't going to take a run at me?
[13:28] ---
    In that case...!
[13:30] ---
    Precedence.
[13:31] ---
    Stone lower; skin higher!
[13:39] ---
    How could that be?
[13:42] ---
    You deflected Itsuwa's spear
    and Tsuchimikado's magic,
[13:45] ---
    so why couldn't you defend against
    a simple wallet with your "precedence"?
[13:53] ---
    Now that I think about it, it's strange.
[13:55] ---
    Even after taking a direct
    hit from that white blade,
[13:58] ---
    Itsuwa and I are still alive.
[14:01] ---
    You weren't obligated to hold back
    against us, or let us get off easy.
[14:06] ---
    Which makes this all simple.
[14:09] ---
    It's not that you didn't kill us;
    you couldn't kill us!
[14:14] ---
    You can't use it against more
    than one target at a time!
[14:17] ---
    Or am I wrong?!
[14:20] ---
    This still has some kinks in it, you see.
[14:22] ---
    But what does knowing that gain you?
[14:25] ---
    It will take more than that
    to defeat Terra of the Left!
[14:30] ---
    Terra!
[14:31] ---
    Precedence. The floor lower; flour higher.
[14:38] ---
    What's your reason for going this far?
[14:41] ---
    Is it worth dragging a whole city into this?
[14:46] ---
    Ha, I believe that Academy City is to
    blame for the majority of the commotion.
[14:52] ---
    There's something I have to know:
[14:55] ---
    whether mankind is currently worthy
[14:57] ---
    of the ultimate goal for church of
    the cross followers--the Holy Kingdom!
[15:03] ---
    Is that the extent of your salvation?
[15:07] ---
    I don't think the God of Roman Orthodoxy
[15:09] ---
    spread his teachings in order
    to give rise to this conflict!
[15:15] ---
    If you're going to create
    your own definition of salvation,
[15:17] ---
    just to gratify yourself,
[15:20] ---
    then I'll take that
    ridiculous fantasy of yours
[15:23] ---
    and lay it to rest right here and now!
[15:26] ---
    Precedence!
[15:29] ---
    You're too slow!
[15:36] ---
    Why, you...
[15:37] ---
    ...damned heathen monkey!!
[15:40] ---
    Precedence! Body lower; flour higher!
[15:49] ---
    You can cut the body,
[15:52] ---
    but apparently, you couldn't cut the shotgun.
[15:58] ---
    It really is... an unaccommodating power!
[16:09] ---
    You aren't at all strong.
[16:12] ---
    Some jerk who only
    masquerades as being strong
[16:14] ---
    and hides himself inside a safe zone,
[16:17] ---
    while Itsuwa and myself stand
    on our own on the battlefield?
[16:20] ---
    There's no way in hell he's stronger!
[16:28] ---
    Ha-ha, look at that.
[16:30] ---
    It's true that your Imagine Breaker
    and ourselves may be incompatible.
[16:35] ---
    It almost seems as though
    our efforts are being rejected.
[16:40] ---
    Aren't you going to ask?
[16:43] ---
    About your Imagine Breaker?
[16:46] ---
    You know about it?
[16:49] ---
    If you're asking for confirmation,
[16:52] ---
    then it would seem that
    you really have lost your memory.
[16:56] ---
    It's pretty simple.
[16:58] ---
    Your Imagine Breaker is actually...
[17:06] ---
    Wh-What was that?
[17:10] ---
    Terra!
[17:37] ---
    Jeez,
[17:39] ---
    if I don't find anything in the next
    ten minutes, I'm out of here.
[17:44] ---
    You guys can do it,
    after things cool down around here.
[17:53] ---
    Now that they have eliminated
    the original sin that binds humanity,
[17:59] ---
    they are seeking
    a method to become angels.
[18:02] ---
    What does that have to do
    with the name "Right Seat of God"?
[18:07] ---
    Even among the angels, Lucifer,
[18:09] ---
    and Michael, who was brought
    about as his counterpart,
[18:13] ---
    had the power that allowed them
    to sit on the right side of God,
[18:16] ---
    which carried with it
    the meaning of "equivalency."
[18:20] ---
    In other words, you're saying
    that their ultimate goal
[18:23] ---
    is to attain the place of Michael?
[18:26] ---
    No. Once they attain the Right Seat of God,
[18:31] ---
    they can use their power to evolve
    into beings different from even angels.
[18:36] ---
    That is what they believe.
[18:38] ---
    La persona superiore a Dio...
[18:44] ---
    ...or "Kami jo."
    
[18:48] ---
    I hear that Avignon has been torn up,
[18:51] ---
    but you seem to be all right, Terra.
[18:56] ---
    My precedence can fend off
    any number of attacks,
[18:59] ---
    as long as they come one at a time.
[19:03] ---
    I heard that the Document of C was lost.
[19:05] ---
    You seem to be in good spirits, considering.
[19:09] ---
    Acqua, I'm sure word
    has reached you, too, right?
[19:13] ---
    The Russian Church has
    formally decided to partner with us.
[19:18] ---
    Our foothold for the invasion of Japan
    is about to get a lot stronger.
[19:24] ---
    We should consult with Fiamma of the Right,
[19:26] ---
    to decide on how to deploy our forces.
[19:29] ---
    Very well.
[19:31] ---
    But before we do, I need to speak with you.
[19:34] ---
    Are the reports that you used children
    and tourists in the environs of Rome
[19:41] ---
    in order to fine-tune the alignment
    of your Light's Execution true?
[19:44] ---
    Oh, yes. Is that really something
    worth raising a fuss over?
[19:50] ---
    I thought you were supposed to be
    conducting yourself for the salvation
[19:54] ---
    of all the people of the world equally.
[19:57] ---
    I'll have you know, I only used
    heathens as my test subjects.
[20:02] ---
    Now, I found some other improvements
    that my Light's Execution needs,
[20:06] ---
    so I will have to further realign it.
[20:09] ---
    Actually, there is one other thing
    that needs to be done beforehand.
[20:23] ---
    Just so you know, there is absolutely
    no way you will be chosen by God.
[20:28] ---
    God knows everything. You can ask Him
    all about it yourself at Final Judgment.
[20:38] ---
    This is the Basilica of San Pietro.
[20:41] ---
    I would appreciate it
    if you didn't destroy it so handily
[20:45] ---
    while in the presence of
    me, as the Roman pope.
[20:50] ---
    Sorry.
[20:52] ---
    So, what is your next move?
[20:55] ---
    Vento is out of action.
    Terra has been purged.
[21:00] ---
    That leaves only one course of action.
[21:02] ---
    You're planning to attack Japan
    by way of Russia, as Terra said?
[21:09] ---
    This incident has taught us a lesson--
[21:12] ---
    that only soldiers should
    cross swords on the battlefield.
[21:17] ---
    I see. So you, as one
    of the Right Seat of God
[21:20] ---
    and bearing the qualities
    of a saint, will be stepping up,
[21:25] ---
    Acqua of the Rear?
[21:33] ---
    You know about it?
[21:37] ---
    If you're asking for confirmation,
[21:39] ---
    then it would seem that
    you really have lost your memory.
[21:43] ---
    What's going on here?!
[21:47] ---
    Amnesia?
[21:52] ---
    Him?
[23:24] ---
    "Preview"
[23:26] ---
    In a city on the verge of its law collapsing,
[23:27] ---
    an organization skulks in the darkness.
[23:29] ---
    Who will slip through the tangle
    of outcry and bullets to survive?
[23:33] ---
    Next time, "The Dark Side of Academy City"
[23:36] ---
    When science and magic cross paths,
    the story begins.
[23:40] ---
    
[23:42] ---
